I mean each one of them is averaging a key contribution every other match. That is some serious ****ing firepower. And if they don't score / assist more than average next season I will be surprised. I mean Ings and Ollie will be lapping up the through balls from Emi. Wow. If they gel we will be fun to watch this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, Sulberto21 said: I don't think it's a panic signing because we were short up front. Reality is that Ings provides excellent competition up front and can play on the wing. £25m is a better price than £30m. However he's a lethal striker and I for one like that. Maybe we'll even play a different style of 433. Previously we played a striker and two wingers in that front three with Grealish and Traore but now we could play, like Liverpool three forwards in Watkins, Ings and Bailey. So Watkins and Bailey wouldnt be out wide, they would be more forward and off centre rather than wide. Or Watkins in the middle and ings and Bailey coming in like Firmino drops and Mane and Salah come in So many options 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StanBalaban Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 To put this into perspective, Danny Ings is almost exactly 1 year older than Harry Kane. For a player than can score a variety of different goals, and has never relied on blistering pace, this is a great signing IMO. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 You know all those time last season when we brought on Davies to rescue the game? And we usually ended up dissapointed? Well, this year will be different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just plucking figures from the air. Journalism is dead. But the Liverpool sell-on clause is real. 20% goes to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he's a better striker than winger. But I think Watkins is probably a better winger than Ings. Though, who knows. It's exciting all the same. The beauty of it is how the front four can rotate during games - Ings can drop out wide as Ollie goes central etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would we shift Watkins when he played so well in the middle? Could be a fast dynamic 3 of Ings, Watkins & Bailey I suppose. Switching the system. This definatley gives us options. I did not want to see Wesley lumbering about this season. We need to cut our loses on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be something that sent a message that it's fine to spend and that maybe were close to FFP being gone or changed. There's no FFP this year, it's been relaxed, which is why Man City can go and spend £260 Mil if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
